The last two years have been one of the most challenging periods in education, but as we move forward into 2022 our independent schools are regrouping and refocussing with their accustomed energy and commitment.

Whatever the challenges they have faced, the independent school sector has continued to deliver an unrivalled education to its students, delivering the best possible student experience.

The Independent Schools of the Year awards 2022 will celebrate all that students, staff and wider school communities have achieved during the 2021-22 academic year.

This year there are 22 categories which schools can enter.

Delivering and supporting student excellence lies at the heart of each award and we hope that they will give our schools the opportunity to tell us what they have achieved as a school community. We hope that the task of preparing their entries will give colleagues the chance to look up from the immediate day-to-day pressures and celebrate their awesome contribution.

The stories of our winners – who will be announced in autumn – will be shared and celebrated across the Independent School Parent portfolio and the Chelsea Magazine Company’s wider platforms. Independent education is one of the UK’s greatest traditions. Let us shout this from the roof tops!

So, send us your entries and make sure your school is part of independent education’s story of excellence and resilience.
